Question

I am writing a small Java app (on Windows, hence the _on_vista appended to my name).

I got 3 buttons, all of which will react to a click event, but do different things.

Is the following code the accepted way or is there a cleaner way I do not know about? On one half, it works, on the other half, something doesn’t seem right…

Thanks

cool_button_1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {         coolfunction1();     } });  cool_button_2.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {         coolfunction2();     } });  // etc ... 

The functions that get called will spawn off threads as needed, so on and so forth.

UPDATE – Both were good (pretty much the same) answers. I accepted the one with the lower rep to share the wealth. Thanks again guys.

Answer 1

Yes, this is the correct way to do this. It’s a bit clumsy (to have to write five long lines of code just to be able to call a method) but that’s Java 🙁
